Paramount Theater Tour
The Paramount Theatre was built as a
movie palace
, during the rise of the motion picture industry in the late 1920s.
Palace
was both a common and an accurate term for the movie theaters of the 1920s and early 1930s. In 1925,
Adolph Zukor
's Paramount Publix Corporation, the theater division of
Paramount Pictures
, one of the great studio-theater chains, began a construction program resulting in some of the finest theaters built. Publix assigned the design of the Oakland Paramount to 38-year-old San Francisco architect
Timothy L. Pflueger
(1892–1946) of
Miller and Pflueger
. The Paramount opened at a cost of $3 million on December 16, 1931.Pflueger was also the designer of the
Castro Theatre
in San Francisco. The
Art Deco
design referred to the
1925
Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes
in Paris. The term Art Deco has been used only since the late 1960s, when there was a revival of interest in the art and fashion of the early 20th century.
